On Sunday, June 30th at 7:00 p.m., bestselling author James Rollins will appear at the Columbia Club on Monument Circle in Indianapolis. He will be selling and signing copies of his new novel The Eye of God

The Magna cum Murder mystery conference, which will host its full-blown conference at the Columbia Club in October, is sponsoring this visit with Rollins, and here’s part of what they have to say about his newest book.

The Eye of God is New York Times and USA Today bestselling summer thriller master James Rollins’ next in his series featuring Sigma Force-an elite and covert arm of the Department of Defense’s DARPA unit-which reveals an apocalyptic vision of the day after tomorrow, of a future predicted by the distant past, of a world doomed to burn.

The Eye of God finds Sigma Force on the hunt for a crashed U.S. military research satellite in the remote wilds of Mongolia. The last blurry image from the falling satellite displayed the eastern seaboard of the United States smoldering and in utter ruin.

At the same time, a mysterious package arrives at the Vatican containing two artifacts: a skull scrawled with ancient Aramaic and a tome bound in human skin. DNA confirms they both came from a single body- the long-dead Mongol king, Genghis Khan. It is up to Commander Gray Pierce, aided by a pair of Vatican historians, to discover a truth tied to the fall of the Roman Empire, to a mystery going back to the very roots of Christianity, and to a weapon hidden for centuries that holds the true fate of humanity.

The visit with Rollins on the 30th is free and open to the public.
